After September 11, a new Bush doctrine: the United States would
hit its enemies before they hit us.

KARL: Hence, the Iraq war.

On terrorism, President Bush told the world you're either with us
or you're against us. With the second term, an even bolder vision.

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: With the ultimate goal of ending
tyranny in our world.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

KARL: Sounding like Woodrow Wilson, the president vowed to push
for democracy everywhere.

There are exceptions. Support for Musharraf in Pakistan, for
example, and the nuclear deal offered to North Korea.

From the axis of evil to nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan,
the Bush policy has been bold but not exactly humble.

Charlie?

GIBSON: So, let me start with a general question: If you are
the nominee, will you run on the Bush foreign policy record, or will
you run away from it?

And, Governor Huckabee, let me start with you, because it was you
who wrote that the Bush foreign policy reflects an arrogant bunker
mentality.

HUCKABEE: And when I made those statements, I was speaking to
the fact that there were times when we gave the world the impression
that we were going to ignore what they thought or what they felt, and
we were going to do whatever it is we wanted to do.

And the fact is, we're going to do what is best for the American
people. And as president, I will always act in the best interest of
our country.

But I'll always try to make sure that we're the strongest nation
on Earth, the most powerful, the most prepared, but also the one that
uses that strength in a very, very understanding way of making sure
that when we use the strength we use it with full understanding of the
implications of it.

Let me just finish the thought, Charlie, if I may.

There were times when the arrogance was reflected, for example,
in the former defense secretary who, despite getting advice from the
Defense Department that we would need 400,000 troops to be able to
successfully bring stability to Iraq, insisted that we would only use
180,000 troops and we would go in with a light footprint.

HUCKABEE: And there was one particular statement that he made
that I found especially troubling. He said, "We don't go to war with
the army that we want; we go to war with the army that we have."

I felt that the proper way for us to approach this is we don't go
to war with the army we have, we go to war with the army that we need,
and we make sure that we have what we need before we go to war,
including a clear definition of what we're going to do, irresistible
force when we do it, and once we do it, we don't let the politicians
interfere or interrupt the battlefield decisions of the commanders
with blood on their boots and medals on their chest.
